Ouch. This means that obviously your pc is not connected to the drive, or the drive is disabled. Have you been able to burn before or is this your first time? Make sure you have a cd-rom drive capable of burning then make sure it is connected, Right click My Computer, select properties, in the Hardware tab select Device Manager. Find the CD-Rom drive and see if its enabled and good to go. Right click and select properties on this icon. Enable it. And burn.
If its an external drive make sure its connected and you have installed the software cd that comes with it.
Hoped this helps.

Windows Media Player can't copy the files to your recordable (CD-R or CD-RW) disc for one of the following reasons:
• The CD-R or CD-RW drive is busy performing another operation. Wait for the drive to complete its current task, and then try again.
• The CD-R or CD-RW drive is not connected properly. Verify that the drive is connected properly, and then try again.
• The software drivers for the CD-R or CD-RW drive are missing or corrupted. Reinstall the drivers by scanning for updates at Microsoft Windows Update or by going to the Web site of your CD drive manufacturer.
• The CD-R or CD-RW drive is not compatible with Windows. Check the Windows Marketplace Tested Products List to ensure that your CD drive is designed for use with Windows. If the drive is not listed, it may not work correctly.

If you have already recorded something on your CD-R, you can't put any more on it. It's a one time deal. All music cd's are like that. So what you need to do is compile everything you want to burn to the cd, then do it all at once. If you're storing data, you can use CD-RW's. They will allow you to add data.

have you used the disc before? you can only use a cd-r once, you cant put more music on it later, you have to do it all at once
